It's Never Too Soon To Say "I Love You"

Because love is all you need.

It's Never Too Soon To Say "I Love You"

When you Google search "Saying I love you," a variety of answers appear. Some articles cover when the right time is to say "I love you" is, while others say when the wrong time is or when it's too soon to say "I love you." But, is there a right, wrong or too soon way to say "I love you" when you're telling someone how you feel? I refuse to believe that a timeline exists.

Love, like hate, is a strong word. It has depth and strength, which should be used in a way that expresses both of those traits. But, just because it's a strong word doesn't mean that you should have to wait for some perfect moment to appear to use it. There is no such thing as perfection, so perfect moments are just as impossible. I believe that this way of holding back has an imaginary idea that there is a perfect time to say I love you.

And, although some will refuse to believe it, these perfect scenarios will never exist, making every moment an opportunity to express how you're feeling. Life is short and it'll flash before your eyes if you don't stop and look around. To me, that's the single greatest reason to show the people you love that you care.

I'm a lover in every sense of the word; I love people for everything they are. If I feel it's the right time to tell you that I love you, I will. I've known shortly after meeting someone that I loved them because I felt an immediate connection to them, where with others it's taken longer to realize the connection we share and the meaning of our relationship. And, that's OK because it shouldn't matter when you say how you feel.

The world is so consumed with timing and tells people not to say "I love you" until you've went on five dates or until you've been together for two months or even until your partner has already said it. But, I think that it's never too soon. Love may be a strong word, but it should be used as often as possible. The world could benefit from more love in it, so go tell someone that you love them. I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
